MA Ardhamagadhi is 2 year duration master program. Ardhamagadhi Prakrit was a Middle Indo-Aryan language and a Dramatic Prakrit thought to have been spoken in present day Uttar Pradesh and utilized in some early Buddhist and Jain show. It was likely a Central Indo-Aryan language, identified with Pali and the later Sauraseni Prakrit and is believed to be the predecessor of Awadhi and Fiji Hindi.
It was initially thought to be an antecedent of the vernacular Magadhi Prakrit, thus the name (actually "half-Magadhi").
